Client Overview
A Lean Consulting Team Ready to Scale Tenfold
Nova Squad is a boutique business consulting practice whose reputation grew faster than its delivery capacity. Every engagement was run bespoke, which protected quality but made it impossible to take on more clients without adding headcount.
The partners wanted a repeatable delivery model that could multiply output without diluting the senior attention clients were paying for.
Bespoke Delivery Would Not Scale
Each project started from a blank page, so senior consultants spent more time assembling materials than advising clients.
Key Challenges
No reusable delivery templates across engagements.
Senior time absorbed by preparation rather than advisory work.
Onboarding a new consultant took months.
Utilisation was invisible until the month closed.
Pricing varied widely for comparable scopes.
Turning Craft Into a Repeatable System
We codified how Nova Squad actually delivers, then rebuilt the practice around a standard engagement spine that still leaves room for judgement.
Step 01
Engagement Mapping
Documented every live project to find the common delivery spine.
Step 02
Playbook Development
Turned recurring work into reusable templates and checklists.
Step 03
Capacity Modelling
Built a utilisation model that forecasts capacity weeks ahead.
Step 04
Pricing Framework
Standardised scoping so quotes match the effort involved.
Key Improvements Delivered
Standard Engagement Spine
A repeatable structure every project now starts from.
Consultant Onboarding Track
New hires reach billable work in weeks rather than months.
Live Utilisation View
Capacity and pipeline visible in a single weekly view.
Value-Based Pricing
Scopes and fees now derive from one shared framework.
What Nova Squad Had to Say
"We were the bottleneck in our own growth. The delivery system we built together let us take on ten times the work without losing the senior attention our clients hired us for."
Daniel Brooks
Chief Operations Officer
